The organizers and sponsors of Great Northwest Day at the CapitolSM recognize that
members of the working news media may find value in attending parts of Great
Northwest Day at the CapitolSM and interviewing participants or our invited guests. It is our
intention to accommodate the legitimate news interests of any member of the recognized media.

We request, whenever possible, that members of the working news media provide advance notice of their interest in attending all or a part of the event:

A minimum of 24 hours notice (contact Lisa Luke, 660-582-1050) will allow
organizers to ensure that working media are given access as requested. In
addition, we ask that each member of the working media have their press
credentials displayed while attending the event.

A minimum of 72 hours notice (contact Lisa Luke, 660-582-1050) will allow
organizers to include working media in the head count and seating for one or
more of the meals. Working media will be billed a prorated $17 per meal reservation.

The full event cost charged to participants is $65, including all meals and
receptions during the two days. Media members who are attending partly or
primarily as representatives of their northwest Missouri communities likely will
benefit from paying the $65 fee rather than the per-meal charges.

We also ask that media members respect that this event is focused on interactions
between the participants and our invited guests. Media members are asked to take care
not to allow their news-gathering efforts (film stand-ups etc.) to detract from or disrupt
the scheduled activities. We will make every reasonable effort to assist you in this regard.

Thank you for your interest, and be assured that we welcome your coverage of Great
Northwest Day at the CapitolSM. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask!
